Welding and Hot Work

Toolbox talks on hot work preparation, sparks, fire watch, fumes, and post-work inspection.

  • Hot work risk extends beyond the immediate task because sparks, heat, fumes, and hidden combustibles can travel.
  • Area preparation and fire watch are essential controls, not paperwork steps.
  • Workers should understand the interaction between hot work and nearby fuel sources, coatings, dust, and ventilation.
  • Post-work checks are as important as setup checks.

The Fire Watch and Post-Work Monitoring
